The Shield vs. Evolution, No Holds Barred Elimination Match: Really hard to not predict Evolution winning, but with Batista expected to take time off, where would things go after this? Unless Evolution wins and Shield beats up Batista and they do an injury angle with him post-match. I was all set to pick Evolution, against all logic, until the final segment of Raw. Now I'm switching to The Shield.

John Cena vs. Bray Wyatt, Last Man Standing Match: Cena wins, but I wouldn't be surprised if something happened to keep this feud going.

Sheamus vs. Cesaro, United States Championship Match: I know Sheamus just won it, but I feel like WWE is more behind Cesaro than they are Sheamus at this point. And they set in motion an injury storyline with Sheamus on Raw. With Heyman, I guess Cesaro doesn't need the title, so Sheamus wins, perhaps by DQ.

Paige vs. Alicia Fox, Divas Championship Match: I'm loving crazy Alicia Fox. I can't wait to see what she does when she loses this match.

EDIT:

Big E. vs. Rusev: Yeah, Rusev.

Hornswoggle and El Torito in a Mask vs. Hair. I will give it to El Torito and his monster push.

Cena. Cause Cena.

Evolution. HHH needs a win back and he is not going to job three PPVs in a row.

Cesaro. Speaking of monster pushes.

Bad News. Sure why not, RVD is here for C-H-E-C-K anyway. Like all of us.

Paige. Too soon and AJ is coming back.

Bryan will go to surrender the belt and either the sound of glass or a countdown clock or a car crash or a IF YA...will stop it. Someone bought has enough money to buy a lion share of WWE stock cheap. And yes, this will be a storyline.

Yeah, the obvious booking is to go with Evolution, but I'm also going to pick the SHIELD here. Maybe HHH replaces Batista after this loss.

I'm also going to go against my gut and pick Wyatt over Cena. They don't seem to have anything else lined up for either guy, and I keep hoping that eventually Cena will get motivated to do something fresh here.

I suppose a Rusev/Big E match gets added to the card, and Rusev wins that.

If Bo or Adam Rose get added, they win.

I think Bryan's injury is not severe enough for him to drop the belt, and I think they're smart enough to know that if they open with his segment with Stephanie and he hands the belt over for the sake of Brie's job, Chicago will shit on the rest of the show. I think this storyline will carry on until MitB, by which time Bryan will become available to compete again.

I'm going to this show, so I'm hoping it turns out a lot better than it looks on paper.

This idea ... would rule.

Cody Rhodes replacing Batista to form the Evolutionary Legacy wouldn't be bad either. If Teddy D is in any kind of shape, they should just do Shield vs. Legacy in an ongoing test of stable supremacy to promote the greatest factions DVD. Shield vs. Right To Censor!

John Cena vs. Bray Wyatt, Last Man Standing Match: I'm going to say that Wyatt deposits Cena on the down end of a teeter-totter, with a little kid on the top end suspended over boiling oil. If Cena gets up, the little kid drops into the boiling oil -- but if Cena stays down, he loses. What a moral conundrum! Or maybe not. Cena wins.

The Shield vs. Evolution, No Holds Barred Elimination Match: I'm gonna go with Shield, because they NEVER lose, and the 'last man standing on RAW loses' rule.

John Cena vs. Bray Wyatt, Last Man Standing Match: I'm going to go with the long shot and say Wyatt. If he goes down he'll absorb so much damage and put on such a barnburner that it'll be his Austin/Hart Submission Match. Either way, I hope the feud ends.

Sheamus vs. Cesaro, United States Championship Match: I'm going to go with Cesaro, with he and Sheamus trading the belt back and forth for a bit.

Paige vs. Alicia Fox, Divas Championship Match: Paige; Alicia Fox is entertaining but I don't see her as a champion.

El Torito vs. Hornswoggle, Mask vs. Hair: This is on the card? Torito.

Rusev vs. Big E: Rusev CRUSH.

Bryan vs. Stephanie: Bryan will come up with some kind of way to avoid giving up the title OR getting Brie fired, possibly by threatening to countersue for, oh, say, ANYTHING IN THE LAST SIX MONTHS OF STORYLINE. Or he could go over Steph's head and bring back Vince to reign his daughter in. Either way, I don't see Bryan losing the titles at Payback and they like Total Divas too much to kick either ofthe Bellas off.

We'll be back right after order has been restored here in the Omni Center.

That the universe was formed by a fortuitous concourse of atoms, I will no more believe than that the accidental jumbling of the alphabet would fall into a most ingenious treatise of philosophy - Swift

I felt this was a terrible show after the opening match, which was fine, and it should have been the main event. Finlay/Henry was boring as hell to me. EDIT - Also, ECW goes a lot of weeks without coverage here.
